m 


THE  Bible  is  a  universal  book.  It  is  applicable  to  all  classes  and  all 
countries.  The  Hindoo  of  India  and  the  highly  civilized  Cauca- 
sian of  Europe  and  America  alike  find  in  its  teachings  a  respon- 
sive cord.  It  is  equally  interesting  to  the  children  and  adults. 
Where  else  can  be  found  such  fascinating  stories  as  in  the 
pages  of  this  old  Book  ?  Baby  Moses  in  the  bulrushes.  The  innocents 
pathetic  figure  of  the  little  Ishmael,  left  to  die  by  himself  in  the  wilderness, 
but  lifting  up  his  little  voice  to  God  and  not  in  vain  I  Joseph,  the  loving 
son  and  true  brother,  and  David,  the  shepherd  lad  who  became  a  great 
King— what  endless  charm  these  stories  of  real  life,  when  the  world  was 
young,  hold  for  the  mind  and  heart  of  both  young  and  old  I  A  young 
collegian,  writing  of  a  charming,  restless  boy  of  nine  years,  tem.porarily 

under  his  charge,  says,  ''I  am  reading  the  story  of  Joseph  to  H out  of 

the  Bible.  It  is  wonderful  to  see  the  little  fellow  with  his  eyes  fixed  upon 
me,  never  speaking, — scarcely  moving  for  as  long  a  time  as  I  choose  to  read  I ' 
"What  entrancing  pictures  of  real  life  we  find  in  the  Bible :  Old  and 
young  pressing  close  to  the  Christ  as  he  sits  by  the  wayside,  to  win  a  word 
of  love  and  blessing  from  his  gracious  lips.  People  of  all  ages  waving  their 
palm-branches  and  singing  Hosannas  to  the  King  whom  they  understood 
and  loved,  as  he  rode  in  triumph  toward  Jerusalem.  The  beloved  daughter 
of  Jairus  called  back  from  her  dreamless  sleep  by  the  Master's  voice.  The 
healing  of  the  nobleman's  boy,  and  the  quick  response  of  the  little  lad  who 
cheerfully  parted  with  his  midday  lunch  at  the  word  of  the  great  Teacher 
whom  he  had  doubtless  learned  to  love,  These,  and  many  another  picture 
of  child  life  adorn  the  pages  of  this  greatest  of  Books,  and  assure  us  that  the 
Bible  is  indeed  "for  the  child,"  and  should  therefore  be  brought  easily  withia 
his  reach.  -^  -^  ^  ,^  ^ 

It  follows  that  any  winning  and  reverent  device  which  may  serve  to 
attract  young  minds  and  hearts  to  the  priceless  truth  hidden  away  in  the 
Holy  Book,  deserves  a  welcome,  "^  "^ 

Such  a  device  is  presented  in  these  pages,  where  Bible  narrative  and 
precept  are  brought  before  the  eye  In  symbol  form,  and  the  eager,  question^ 
ing  mind  of  the  child  is  led  through  the  pictured  word  to  a  real  interest  in 
and  love  for  the  words  which  Christ  declared  are  '  'spirit "  and  *  life."  "^

**  Through  the  eye  to  the  heart/'  has  long  been  a  recognized  principle 
in  primary  teaching.  Hence,  the  use  of  the  blackboard  and  of  everyday 
objects  by  primary  teachers.  The  untrained  thought  must  be  caught  and 
held,  if  it  is  to  be  directed  rightly.  Ji  ^  J- 

The  home  is  the  starting  place  in  the  race  of  life,  and  the  mother  is 
the  starter.     The  old  song  says  truthfully  : 

"  Baby's  skies 
Are  mother's  eyes.** 
As  mother  frowns  or  smiles,  so  does  baby.  As  mother  thinks  and  feels, 
so  does  baby,  during  the  most  impressible  period  of  his  life.  Great  is  the 
mother's  responsibility !  Great  is  her  opportunity  I  "When  she  realizes  the 
one  or  the  other,  how  gladly  she  hails  any  help  in  molding  the  young  lives 
entrusted  to  her  care  !  And  there  is  no  such  helper  as  the  Word  of  God. 
Happy  is  that  home  in  which  it  is  known  and  loved  and  reverenced  as 
being  God's  own  Book!  j^  Ji  ^ 

But  how  are  the  children  to  become  acquainted  with  its  sacred  sweet- 
ness and  life-giving  power  except  as  the  parents  introduce  it  to  them  ?  If 
father  and  mother  are  acquainted  with  its  hidden  treasures,  and  show  by 
word  and  by  deed,  that  they  delight  to  turn  to  it  for  counsel  and  for  com- 
fort, then  the  children  will  in  the  great  majority  of  cases  learn  to  love  and 
prize  it  too.  ^  J-  ^  ^ 

A  book  largely  made  up  of  strong,  clear  pictures,  setting  forth  through 
forms  of  life  already  known  to  the  children,  many  of  the  precepts  and 
promises  of  the  Bible,  as  well  as  many  of  the  striking  stories  told  in  its 
pages,  can  hardly  fail  to  at  least  assist  in  making  it  known  to  the  child. 

The  little  one  who  bends  his  brow  in  earnest  thought  over  a  pictured 
text,  calling  upon  mother  again  and  again  for  help,  will  thenceforth  carry 
a  picture  in  his  thought  which  will  help  to  imprint  the  words  upon  his 
mind,  —  to  come  forth  perhaps  some  future  day  in  a  time  of  stress  and 
supply  the  needed  bread  of  God  for  his  soul's  famine !  .^  ^ 

And  the  mother,  —  what  opportunities  are  thus  afforded  her  for  speak- 
ing the  **  word  in  season,"  opening  the  low  door  to  some  rich,  sweet  truth, 
or  clothing  with  life  the  story  which  is  here  but  outlined !  ^  ^ 

In  confident  belief  that  this  fascinating  volume  will  prove  a  safe  and 
strong  helper  in  many  a  home,  leading  by  pleasant  paths  to  an  interest  in 
and  love  for  the  Word  of  God,  it  is  sent  forth  on  its  mission.  .3* 

*'  The  paths  that  lead  us  to  God's  throne 
Are  worn  by  children's  feet."

JOSEPH  SOLD  BY  HIS  BRETHREN 


EH  OLD,  this  dreamer  cometh."     The  words  were 

spoken  by  one  of  a  group  of  men  in  the  fields  of 

Dothan.     They  wore  the   loose,  rough  garb  of  the 

East,  and  their  strong  faces  were  browned  by  long 

exposure  to  an  eastern  sun. 

Come  now,  therefore,"  the  harsh  voices  went  on,  "  let 

him,  and  cast  him  into  some  pit,  and  we  will  say,  some 

evil  beast  hath   devoured   him;    and  we  shall   see  what  will 

become  of  his  dreams." 

But  one  of  the  brothers  said,  "  Let  us  not  kill  him,  but 
cast  him  into  this  pit  that  is  in  the  wilderness.'*  This  was 
Reuben,  one  of  the  sons  of  Jacob,  and  he  wanted  the  life  of  his 
young  brother  spared  for  his  old  father's  sake.  And  so  when 
young  Joseph,  the  dreamer,  and  the  darling  of  his  father,  came 
near,  the  hard-hearted  brothers  seized  him  and  first  stripping 
off  the  beautiful  *'  coat  of  many  colors,"  which  had  helped  to 
cause  their  jealousy  and  ill  feeling,  they  threw  him  into  one  of 
the  pits  so  often  found  in  that  country. 

Why  had  these  men  learned  to  hate  their  young  brother, 
the  son  of  Jacob's  old  age,  and  the  firstborn  of  the  beautiful 
R.achel  ?  More  than  once  Joseph  had  dreamed  strange  dreams, 
which  he  told  in  the  innocence  of  his  heart.  Always  the  dreams 
seemed  to  mean  that  he  would  one  day  be  in  high  honor,  and 
his  brothers  would  bow  down  to  him  and  serve  him.  These 
dreams,  and  the  fondness  with  which  his  father  looked  upon  this 
beloved  son,  had  stirred  their  hearts  to  hatred,  and  they  allowed 
the  spirit  of  envy  and  jealousy  to  drive  them  to  thoughts  of 
murder. 

But  now  a  new  thought  came  to  one  of  their  number. 
A  company  of  traveling  merchants   came  in  sight,  and   they 


6 


28 


THE  BIBLE  IN  PICTURES 


agreed  to  sell  their  brother  and  let  him  be  carried  away  into 
Egypt  to  be  sold  as  a  slave.  This  was  done,  and  the  "  dreamer  " 
was  taken  away  from  their  sight,  as  they  supposed,  for  all  time. 

And  now,  see  how  God  cares  for  his  children  who  are 
true  to  him,  as  Joseph  was.  Sold  as  a  slave  to  Potiphar,  a  high 
officer  of  King  Pharaoh's,  he  soon  became  a  trusted  servant, 
and  his  heathen  master  saw  and  believed  that  "  the  Lord  was 
with  him."  He  even  found  that  he  himself  was  blessed  and 
prospered  for  Joseph's  sake,  and  that  this  noble,  handsome 
young  man  was  of  great  value  to  him. 

But  trouble  came  through  Potiphar's  vain  and  foolish 
wife,  and  Joseph  was  thrown  into  prison,  though  he  had  done 
no  wrong.  Again  we  read,  "  But  the  Lord  was  with  Joseph." 
Yes,  even  in  prison  and  disgrace,  the  Lord  stood  by  him,  giving 
him  wisdom  and  love,  and  sending  him  dreams,  which  in  the 
end  brought  him  out  of  prison,  and  placed  him  in  still  higher 
position  than  before  ! 

The  King  of  Egypt,  the  great  Pharaoh,  had  a  wonderful 
dream,  which  no  wise  man  could  interpret.  He  sent  for  Joseph, 
and  the  Lord  showed  Joseph  the  true  meaning.  When  the 
King  learned  that  a  great  famine  was  coming,  he  placed  Joseph 
in  charge,  and  during  all  the  famine  years,  and  the  years  of 
plenty  that  went  before,  it  was  Joseph's  wisdom  that  planned, 
and  carried  out  the  plans  which  saved  Egypt  from  great  trouble 
and  loss. 

One  day  there  came  a  company,  of  men  from  Canaan, 
where  the  famine  was  sore,  asking  to  buy  bread  from  Joseph. 
He  knew  them  at  once  for  his  brothers,  but  they  knew  him  not. 
His  loving  heart  went  out  to  them,  and  when  he  at  last  made 
himself  known  to  them,  he  wept  aloud  for  joy  and  sorrow.  The 
time  had  come,  indeed,  when  the  dreams  of  the  dreamer  had 
come  true,  and  Joseph,  the  hated  and  despised  brother,  became, 
not  only  one  to  whom  the  brothers  bowed  down  in  love  and 
reverence,  but  the  one  to  whom  they  actually  owed  their  lives.

A  TRUE  STORY  OF  LOVE  AND  FAITH 


N TREAT  me  not  to  leave  thee,  or  to  return  from 
following  after  thee  ;  for  whither  thou  goest  I  will 
go,  and  where  thou  lodgest  I  will  lodge;  thy  peo- 
ple shall  be  my  people,  and  thy  God  my  God. 
Where  thou  diest  will  I  die,  and  there  will  I  be 
buried — the  Lord  do  so  to  me  and  more  also  if  aught  but 
death  part  thee  and  me.'' 

It  was  a  young  woman  of  Moab  who  spoke  these  noble 
and  beautiful  words  to  a  woman  old  and  sad,  and  bowed  by 
many  sorrows.  Years  before  a  man  of  Bethlehem  in  Judah 
took  his  wife  and  two  sons,  because  of  famine,  and  went  into 
the  land  of  Moab  to  dwell  for  a  time.  His  name  was  Elimelech, 
and  his  wife  was  called  Naomi.  Elimelech  died  in  this  strange 
land,  and  Naomi  was  left  with  her  two  sons,  who  married 
wives  from  among  the  daughters  of  Moab.  And  then  came  a 
sad  time  when  the  sons  died,  and  Naomi  was  left  alone  with 
her  daughters-in-law,  Orpah  and  Ruth.  They  loved  one  an- 
other and  dwelt  in  peace  and  union,  but  the  mother's  heart 
turned  in  her  loneliness  more  and  more  toward  her  own  kin- 
dred, her  own  land,  and  above  all  the  God  of  Israel  whom  she 
had  loved  and  served  in  her  happy  youth,  and  whom  she  still 
loved,  though  among  a  people  who  knew  him  not. 

The  longing  desire  grew  in  the  heart  of  Naomi,  until 
she  could  no  longer  abide  in  the  land  of  strangers,  and  one  day 
she  turned  her  face  toward  the  land  of  Judah,  and  Orpah  and 
Ruth  said  they  would  go  with  her. 

Naomi  bade  them  return,  each  to  her  mother's  house, 
and  she  kissed  them  tenderly,  while  all  three  women  wept  as 
they  tried  to  bid  one  another  a  long  farewell.     Then  Ruth,  her 


^ 


THE  BIBLE  IN  PICTURES 


heart  running  over  with  lore  and  faith,  spoke  the  words  which 
have  Hved,  and  will  always  live  in  the  world  while  love  and  faith 
are  dear  to  human  hearts. 

Again  Naomi  bade  the  loving  daughters  return  to  their 
own  people,  and  not  seek  to  follow  an  old  and  broken  woman 
upon  whom  the  hand  of  the  Lord  had  been  laid.  The  daugh- 
ters again  wept  aloud,  and  Orpah  kissed  her  mother-in-law 
again,  and  turned  to  go  to  her  own  people.  But  Ruth,  glow- 
ing with  love  and  the  spirit  of  self-sacrifice,  clung  to  the  older 
woman.  When  Naomi  saw  that  Ruth  was  of  a  steadfast  mind 
and  would  not  leave  her,  we  may  well  believe  that  hope  and 
courage  entered  into  the  soul  of  the  sad-hearted  woman  and  she 
went  on  her  way  with  a  heart  lightened  and  cheered  by  the 
love  and  tenderness  of  this  dear  daughter. 

Ruth  gave  up  her  own  people,  her  own  land,  and  the 
gods  she  had  been  taught  to  serve.     What  did  she  gain.? 

She  gained  the  undying  affection  of  a  lonely  woman,  the 
love  and  respect  of  all  who  saw  her  devotion  to  duty,  and  above 
all  else  the  favor  of  Israel's  God  and  King  !  She  gained,  too, 
the  honor  of  being  an  ancestress  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and 
her  name  will  be  known  as  long  as  he  is  loved  and  worshiped 
on  earth. 

A  good  and  noble  man  saw  this  sweet  woman  gleaning 
in  the  field  after  the  reapers.  His  heart  was  drawn  to  her  by 
her  beauty  and  modest  ways,  and  he  made  her  his  honored 
wife,  giving  her  a  name  and  high  position,  and  a  dear  child  was 
given  her,  who  became  the  father  of  Jesse,  the  father  of  David,

DAVID  AND  GOLIATH 


LONG  ago  when  the  world  was  young  there  lived  a 
clear-eyed,  noble  boy  who  feared  nothing  but  evil. 
He  was  a  shepherd  lad,  keeping  his  father's  flocks 
on  the  wide,  grassy  plains  of  Bethlehem.  He  was 
the  youngest  son  of  Jesse,  and  had  several  brothers 
older  than  himself.  A  brave  and  faithful  lad  he  was, — so  brave 
that  when  peacefully  watching  his  sheep  one  day,  a  lion  came 
out  of  the  rocky  gorge  not  far  away,  and  tried  to  carry  away 
some  of  the  tender  lambs,  their  young  shepherd,  thinking  not 
of  his  own  safety,  slew  the  lion,  and  saved  his  flock!  Another 
day  a  hungry  bear  came  seeking  food,  and  young  David  fear- 
lessly slew  him — again  saving  his  flock. 

There  came  a  day  when  there  was  war  between  Israel 
and  the  Philistines.  The  armies  came  in  plain  sight  of  each 
other,  and  the  Philistines  sent  their  champion — the  great  giant 
Goliath — to  dare  any  man  to  come  out  and  fight  with  him  and 
thus  settle  the  quarrel  between  the  two  armies. 

Goliath  was  taller  than  any  man  you  ever  saw.  He  wore 
a  great  helmet  of  brass  on  his  head,  and  his  body  was  covered 
with  a  coat  of  mail.  He  had  a  big  voice  and  a  fierce  look,  and 
all  the  soldiers  who  heard  him  were  afraid  to  fight  him.  Every 
day  the  giant  came  out  and  taunted  the  Israelites  and  called 
them  cowards,  and  King  Saul's  heart  was  full  of  trouble  and 
dismay. 

But  one  day  he  was  told  that  a  lad  had  come  to  the 
battlefield  to  bring  food  to  his  brothers,  who  said  he  would 
fight  the  giant!  Saul  said,  "Bring  him  to  me."  But  when  he 
saw  the  fair  face  and  slender  form  of  young  David,  he  was  much 
disappointed,  and  said  sadly,  "Alas!  you  are  too  young  and 


^ 


ns^ 


t:^ 


i^X^^^ 


-^  j^^^-^^i^

THE  BIBLE  IN  PICTURES 


weak  to  fight  a  great  giant  like  Goliath."  But  David,  looking 
the  king  in  the  eye,  said  modestly  but  bravely,  "The  Lord  who 
delivered  me  out  of  the  paw  of  the  lion,  and  out  of  the  paw  of 
the  bear,  He  will  deliver  me  out  of  the  hand  of  this  Philistine." 
Then  Saul  saw  that  David  was  not  thinking  of  his  own  power 
or  strength,  but  of  the  power  and  strength  of  the  great  God, 
and  he  said,  "Go,  and  the  Lord  be  with  thee." 

So  David  went,  believing  in  his  faithful  young  heart  that 
God  would  humble  the  pride  and  wickedness  of  this  powerful 
giant,  and  give  the  victory  to  His  people  Israel.  He  would  not 
wear  armor  or  carry  a  sword.  He  wanted  all  the  people  to  see 
1^  that  God  could  use  a  weak  boy  to  conquer  evil,  and  he  took 
only  his  shepherd's  staff  and  his  sling,  and  went  cheerfully  to 
meet  the  bad,  bold  giaut. 

When  GoHath  saw  this  fair,  ruddy-faced  boy  coming  to 
meet  him,  armed  only  with  his  shepherd's  staff  and  a  sling,  he 
despised  him  and  cursed  him  by  his  gods.  But  David  said  to 
him,  calmly,  "I  come  to  thee  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
this  day  will  the  Lord  deHver  thee  into  mine  hand."  The  giant 
came  to  meet  him  in  great  rage,  rattling  his  armor  and  waving 
his  sword,  but  young  David,  who  had  picked  up  a  few  smooth 
stones  from  the  side  of  the  brook,  only  took  one  of  them  from 
his  little  shepherd's  bag,  put  it  carefully  in  his  sling,  and  threw 
it  with  so  true  an  aim,  and  with  such  power  in  his  young  hand, 
that  it  struck  the  fierce  giant  squarely  in  the  forehead,  and  he 
fell  down  flat  upon  his  face!  When  the  soldiers  of  the  two  armies 
;?5  saw  this  the  IsraeHtes  shouted  for  joy,  and  the  Philistines  turned 
and  ran  away,  for  they  saw  that  the  God  of  Israel  was  fighting 
for  His  people.

THE  FLIGHT  INTO  EGYPT. 


RISE!  Take  the  young  child  quickly:  We  must 
flee  !  "  It  was  Joseph,  the  carpenter,  calling  in  the 
still  night  to  Mary,  the  mother  of  Jesus.  What  did 
it  mean  ? 

The  Holy  Family  lingered  still  in  Bethlehem.  In  the 
night  time  an  angel  of  the  Lord  spoke  to  Joseph  in  a  dream 
bidding  him  take  Mary  and  the  Child  and  fly  to  Eg3^pt  because 
of  the  cruel  King  Herod,  who  had  heard  the  story  of  the  Wise 
Men,  and  feared  the  little  new-born  King. 

In  quiet  haste  Mary  rose  and  made  ready,  and  soon  the 
three  were  under  the  stars,  Mary,  bearing  the  precious  Babe  in 
tender  arms  and  riding  upon  the  gentle  ass,  while  Joseph  hurried 
along  by  her  side,  knowing  well  that  the  danger  was  real,  else 
the  Lord  would  not  have  sent  his  angel  to  warn  them.  And  so 
it  was,  for  they  were  scarcely  outside  the  walls  of  the  city  when 
Herod's  soldiers  came  at  his  command  to  slay  all  the  children 
of  two  years  and  under,  thinking  in  this  way  to  destroy  the 
Holy  Child  whom  the  Wise  Men  had  called  King  of  the  Jews- 

Egypt  lay  nearly  eighty  miles  in  a  straight  line  from 
Bethlehem.  The  road  ran  along  the  hill  tops,  then  down  to  the 
plains  and  the  seashore.  It  was  the  lovely  springtime,  and  in 
the  young  mother's  fearful  heart  there  was  yet  a  thrill  of  joy 
in  the  thought  that  her  blessed  Child  was  so  plainly  under 
the  direction  of  the  King  of  Heaven ! 

Eighty  miles  seems  but  a  short  journey  with  our  modern 
ways  of  travel,  but  nineteen  hundred  years  ago,  and  in  the  land 
of  our  Ivord,  it  took  many  days.     The  patient  ass  toiled  on 
carrying  his  precious  burden,  and  Joseph,  tall  and  grave,  kept 
faithful  watch  by  day  and  by  night. 


<3 


THE  BIBLE  IN  PICTURES 


And  now  see  how  God  had  made  this  journey  to  a  strange 
land  and  a  long  stay  there  possible.  Joseph  was  a  poor  man, 
and  Mary  was  a  simple  maiden  of  the  hills.  In  all  their  lives, 
perhaps,  they  had  never  seen  so  much  money  as  the  Wise  Men 
brought,  laying  it  all  at  the  feet  of  the  infant  King !  They  did 
not  know  then  what  it  meant,  but  now  they  understood  that  God 
had  sent  them  the  gold  and  precious  things  for  this  very  time  of 
need.  How  they  praised  him,  and  how  we,  too,  should  praise 
him,  for  he  is  "  Our  Father,"  you  know, — the  Father  of  Jesus, 
and  our  Father,  too  ! 

A  river  ran  between  the  land  of  Palestine  and  the  land 
gl  of  Egypt,  and  in  a  little  less  than  a  week,  perhaps,  from  the 
night  when  they  stole  away  from  Bethlehem,  they  came  to  one 
of  the  shallow  fords  of  the  river  and  crossed  safely  over  into 

Egypt. 

Here  the  happy  little  family  stayed  on,  month  after  month, 
for  Joseph  knew  well  that  he  must  not  return  to  his  own  land 
while  King  Herod  lived.  With  some  of  the  money  which  Ihe 
Wise  Men  brought  he  could  buy  tools  such  as  carpenters  used 
in  those  days,  and  take  up  again  his  clean,  honest  toil,  making  a 
little  home  for  Mary  and  the  child  Jesus, — a  home  in  which  love 
and  peace  lived. 

And  so  the  days  went  by  and  another  glad  spring  came, 
and  the  little  Jesus,  growing  always  stronger  and  sweeter,  made 
the  light  and  joy  of  the  cottage  home.  Then  again  the  angel 
came  to  Joseph  in  a  dream  and  said:  "Arise,  take  the  young 
child  and  his  mother  and  return  to  thine  own  country,  for  they 
are  dead  which  sought  his  life." 

So  Joseph  and  Mary,  with  the  Holy  Child,  went  gladly 
back  to  their  own  dear  home  in  the  hills,  and  they  dwelt  there 
in  peace  and  simple  comfort  for  many  happy  years.

--nSHERS  OF  MEN.'* 


EAR  not,  from  henceforth  thou  shalt  catch  men." 

Jesus  spoke  these  words  to  Peter  one  lovely 
morning,  standing  on  the  shore  of  the  blue  Sea  of 
Galilee.  He  had  been  teaching  the  people  who 
flocked  in  crowds  about  him,  and  while  he  was  still 
speaking  two  fishing  boats  came  to  the  shore.  The  fishermen 
were  tired,  for  they  had  toiled  all  night  and  had  caught  nothing. 
They  began  at  once  to  take  the  nets  from  their  boats,  and  to 
wash  the  sand  and  pebbles  out  of  them  in  order  to  get  them 
ready  for  the  next  night's  work. 

By  this  time  the  people  had  crowded  down  upon  the 
water's  edge,  so  that  Jesus  stepped  into  Peter's  boat  and  asked 
him  to  push  it  out  a  little  way  from  the  shore.  Peter  gladly 
did  so,  and  from  the  boat  Jesus  went  on  speaking  to  the  people, 
and  they  listened  eagerly  to  every  word  he  said.  When  he  was 
done  he  sent  them  away,  and  then  told  Peter,  and  Andrew,  his 
brother,  to  push  the  boat  out  into  the  deep  water,  and  let  the  nets 
down  again.  Peter  thought  in  his  heart  that  this  would  do  no 
good,  but  he  said,  "  At  thy  word  I  will  let  down  the  nets." 
Peter  knew  that  Jesus  was  a  great  Teacher,  but  he  did  not 
know  that  he  was  a  great  Wonder-worker. 

Out  into  the  blue  lake  Peter  rowed  again,  and  this  time, 
though  it  was  morning,  when  the  fish  are  not  easily  caught,  the 
nets  filled  so  quickly  and  were  so  heavy  that  the  fishermen  had 
to  make  signs  to  James  and  John,  their  partners  in  fishing,  to 
bring  their  boats  and  help  carry  the  load.  When  Peter  saw 
this  he  knew  that  Jesus  could  do  mighty  works,  and  as  soon  as 
he  came  to  the  shore  he  ran  and  knelt  down  before  him,  and 


said,  "  Depart  from  me,  for  I  am  a  sinful  man,  O  Lord."    Peter

meant  by  this  that  he  was  not  worthy  to  be  a  disciple  because 
he  had  doubted  the  power  of  Jesus,  and  then  Jesus  told  him  not 
to  be  afraid,  for  he  would  make  him  a  fisher  of  men. 

Peter  and  Andrew  and  James  and  John,  all  fishermen, 
had  been  called  to  be  the  disciples  of  Jesus.  A  disciple  is  a 
learner,  and  Jesus  wanted  these  fishermen  to  learn  from  him  all 
that  he  could  teach  them,  so  that  they  might  become  teachers. 
These  were  among  the  very  first  disciples.  Jesus  was  not 
looking  for  men  who  had  much  money  or  grei't  learning  or  rich 
friends  to  become  his  followers.  He  wanted  men  with  simple 
hearts,  who,  for  love  of  him,  would  be  willing  to  help  other 
people  to  know  and  love  him  too.  This  is  what  he  meant  when 
he  said,  "  Follow  me,  and  I  will  make  you  fishers  of  men." 

It  is  the  same  now  as  in  those  days.  Anyone  who  truly 
follows  Jesus  will  become  a  fisher  of  men.  He  will  want  other 
people  to  know  and  love  Jesus  so  much  that  he  will  be  making 
plans  to  "  catch  "  them  just  as  a  good  fisherman  does  who  is 
eager  to  catch  fish.  You  do  not  need  to  be  a  preacher  and 
stand  in  a  pulpit  to  be  a  fisher  of  men,  nor  do  you  have  to  be  a 
missionary  and  go  far  away  to  some  strange  country.  Just 
the  place  in  which  you  are,  just  that  which  is  given  you  to  do 
at  the  time,  is  your  place  and  your  opportunity  to  do  the  kind 
of  fishing  Jesus  wants  done.  The  boy  or  the  girl  in  the  home, 
at  school,  on  the  playground,  anywhere,  everywhere,  may  be  a 
true  follower  of  Jesus,  and  therefore  a  real  fisher  of  men.

RAISING  OF  JAIRUS* 


Reynolds, 


THE  BIBLE  IN  PICTURES 


& 


THE  RAISING  OF  JAIRUS'  DAUGHTER. 


A      GREAT  crowd  was  waiting  to  welcome  Jesus  when 
Peter's  boat,  bearing  the  Master  and  his  disciples, 
came  in  sight  of  the  landing  place  at  Capernaum. 
The  sharp-pointed,  red  sail  was  lowered,  and  the 
curious,  kindly  people  pressed  close  to  Jesus  to  wel- 
come him  back  to  their  town.     They  were  proud  and  pleased 
to  have  him  among  them,  for  at  this  time  the  friends  of  Jesus 
were  many,  and  if  he  had  any  enemies  they  wisely  held  their 
peace. 

But  now,  pressing  through  the  crowd,  with  a  look  of 
pain  on  his  fine  face,  came  Jairus,  one  of  the  great  men  of  the 
church  and  town.  The  people  made  place  for  him  with  looks 
of  pity,  for  many  of  them  knew  that  his  little  girl  was  lying  at 
the  point  of  death  in  his  home.  They  looked  on  with  astonish- 
ment when  they  saw  the  great  man  come,  bending  low  before 
Jesus,  and  heard  him  say  in  a  voice  full  of  trouble,  "  My  little 
daughter  is  dying.  Come,  I  pray  thee,  and  lay  thy  hand  upon 
her,  that  she  may  live."  Jairus  knew  that  Jesus  had  done  many 
wonderful  works,  and  now  in  his  time  of  great  distress  he  came 
to  him  for  help. 

Turning  away  from  the  seashore,  Jesus  went  with  Jairus 
toward  his  fine  house,  which  was  just  a  little  distance  from  the 
town.  His  disciples  and  a  crowd  of  eager  people  followed  him, 
and  they  pressed  upon  him  so  that  he  could  not  move  quickly. 
Then,  too,  a  poor  sick  woman  made  herself  known  to  Jesus  and 
begged  his  help  and  pity,  and  did  not  beg  in  vain.  But  while 
Jesus  and  Jairus  were  thus  held,  a  servant  came  running  from 
the  house  of  Jairus  to  say  that  the  child  was  dead,  and  that  he 
need  not  -trouble  the  Master  to  come  any  farther.    Jesus  heard 


& 


138 


THE  BIBLE  IN  PICTURES 


^^ 


the  words,  and,  looking  upon  Jairiis,  said,  "  Fear  not  ;  only 
believe."  What  hope  and  cheer  these  words  must  have  brought 
to  the  heart  of  the  unhappy  father  ! 

When  Jairus  came,  bringing  the  Healer,  to  his  beautiful 
house,  he  found  the  door  wide  open,  and  many  hired  mourners 
had  already  gathered  there.  They  sat  on  the  floor,  the  women 
with  their  hair  falling  over  their  eyes  and  dust  on  their  heads, 
and  men  with  garments  torn  to  show  their  grief  —  all  weeping 
and  wailing  loudly.  This  was  the  custom  in  that  country  when 
one  was  dead  in  a  house,  and  all  the  time  the  mournful  sound 
of  flutes  told  those  who  passed  by  that  the  death  angel  had 
entered  the  home. 

Jesus  told  Jairus  to  send  all  these  people  away,  for  well 
he  knew  that  the  mourning  was  only  a  show,  without  any  real 
grief  in  their  hearts.  And  when  all  were  gone,  except  the 
father  and  mother  of  the  dear  child,  he  took  them,  with  Peter 
and  James  and  John,  into  the  little  darkened  room  where  lay 
the  silent  form  of  the  sweet  girl,  only  twelve  j^ears  of  age. 
Jesus  took  the  little  cold  hand  into  his  own,  warm  and  throbbing 
with  life,  and  saying  only  two  words,  "  Talitha  cumi,"  which 
means  "Little  maid,  I  say  unto  thee,  arise," — straightway  the 
spirit  of  life  came  back.  The  child  opened  her  eyes,  rose  up, 
and  was  again  her  bright,  sweet  self ! 

We  may  never  know  what  she  said  or  felt,  or  what  the 
glad  father  and  mother  felt  in  their  hearts,  but  it  is  easy  to 
believe  that  they  fell  down  at  Jesus'  feet  and  thanked  him  with 
tears  of  joy  and  love,  and  that  ever  afterward  they  loved  and 
trusted  the  great  Healer.  And  the  little  girl  —  did  she  not  owe 
her  life  to  the  One  who  had  called  it  back,  and  would  it  not  be 
her  highest  joy  to  pay  her  debt  in  love  and  glad  service  ?

FEEDING  THE  MULTITUDE. 


EAREST  Children,  when  we  are  tired,  and  perhaps 
lessons  are  to  be  learned,  or  errands  to  be  done  for 
mother  or  father,  or  even  little  baby  brother  needs 
a  playmate,  it  may  help  us  to  do  whatever  is  before 
us  if  we  remember  how  patient  Jesus  always  was, 
his  disciples  labored  even  when  weary,  to  help  the 
and  to  work  with  Jesus. 

One  time  when  Jesus  and  the  disciples  had  worked  very 
hard  and  all  felt  weary,  Jesus  said,  "Come,  my  dear  brothers, 
we  will  cross  the  sea  in  a  ship  all  alone,  and  reach  a  quiet  place 
where  we  can  have  sweet  rest."  The  disciples  gladly  went,  for 
they  longed  for  the  promised  rest.  But  many  people  saw  the 
ship  depart,  and  not  knowing  that  Jesus  and  the  disciples  went 
away  to  be  alone,  they  followed  on  foot,  walking  around  on  the 
land,  and  hurried  so  as  to  be  there  when  the  ship  landed. 

Jesus  was  surprised  when  they  came  ashore  not  to  find 
the  quiet  spot  which  he  sought,  but  a  gathering  of  thousands  of 
people,  who  had  come  to  be  healed  and  helped.  ' 

He  did  not  tell  them  that  he  and  his  disciples  had 
worked  hard  and  must  rest;  he  smiled  sweetly,  and  patiently 
spent  the  remainder  of  the  day  talking  gently  to  those  who 
needed  counsel,  and  healing  those  who  were  ill.  The  little 
children  gathered  about  him,  knowing  Jesus  could  soothe  all 
their  sorrows,  and  when  evening  came  there  was  not  a  troubled 
heart  in  all  the  gathering. 

At  length  the  disciples  came  to  Jesus  and  said,  "  It  is 
growing  late  and  these  people  have  no  food.  Shall  we  not  send 
them  to  the  villages  that  they  may  be  fed  .^"  But  Jesus  an- 
swered, "No,  they  walked  so  far  to  be  with  us,  that  I  fear  they 


,n:i\ 


"^^^^"^ 


THE  BIBLE  IN  PICTURES 


143 


are  too  weary  to  go  to  the  villages.  The  little  children  could 
not  wait  so  long  or  walk  so  far — all  of  these  dear  followers 
must  be  fed  here."  The  disciples  in  surprise  replied,  "  Master, 
there  are  thousands  here  and  no  one  has  brought  food  except  a 
little  lad,  and  he  has  only  five  barley  loaves  and  two  small 
hshes." 

Jesus  was  glad  to  hear  of  the  little  lad  who  had  the 
loaves  and  fishes  and  asked  them  to  bring  the  boy  to  him.  The 
little  boy  was  very  happy  to  be  called  close  to  Jesus'  side,  and 
although  he  was  hungry  and  did  not  know  what  Jesus  intended 
to  do,  he  quickly  gave  him  his  little  luncheon,  for,  trusting 
Jesus,  no  sacrifice  was  too  great  to  make  for  his  dear  sake. 
But  Jesus,  who  never  fails  us,  surprised  the  little  boy  as  well  as 
the  people  gathered  there,  by  making  the  five  loaves  and  the 
two  fishes  feed  them  all,  for  as  quickly  as  he  gave  food  to  one, 
more  food  appeared  for  another,  and  soon  they  were  all  supplied 
with  plenty  to  eat,  and  were  seated  on  the  soft,  green  grass, 
eating  and  resting,  and  not  forgetting  to  have  thankful  hearts 
for  the  blessing  they  had  received. 

After  the  people  had  eaten,  and  all  were  satisfied,  Jesus 
told  his  disciples  to  gather  up  what  was  left,  and  they  quickly 
did  so,  filling  twelve  baskets  with  the  fragments. 

No  crumbs  were  left  on  the  beautiful  velvety  grass — all 
was  left  as  clean  as  if  no  one  had  feasted  there.  Everybody 
looked  satisfied  and  happy  and  peace  reigned  in  the  hearts  of  all.

CHRIST  BLESSING  LITTLE  CHILOREn: 


PlockhoTSt

THE  BIBLE  IN  PICTURES 


CHRIST  BLESSING  LITTLE  CHILDREN. 


LOVE  your  Jesus  because  he  loves  little  children," 
said  a  heathen  child  to  a  missionary. 

It  was  springtime  of  the  last  year  that  Jesus  lived 
earth.      He   was  in  Peraea,   beyond   the   River 


on 


Jordan.  He  had  gone  there  to  hide  away  from  the 
wicked  priests  who  hated  him  and  wanted  to  kill  him.  It  was 
no  longer  safe  for  Jesus  to  preach  and  teach  in  Judea  and  Galilee, 
and  the  priests  had  even  turned  the  hearts  of  the  people  away 
from  him  in  Samaria.  So  the  gentle  Master  had  gone  with  his 
disciples  down  the  Jericho  road,  and  crossing  the  fords  of  the 
Jordan  had  come  into  the  Peraean  country,  where  the  people 
were  not  so  much  under  the  rule  of  the  priests  as  in  Jerusalem. 
Here  Jesus  stayed  all  the  winter,  helping  and  blessing  the  kind 
people,  and  now  the  time  had  come  for  him  to  go  back  to 
Jerusalem  and  lay  down  his  life  for  our  sakes. 

It  was  not  a  strange  thing  in  that  land  for  thoughtful 
mothers  to  bring  little  children  to  some  wise  Teacher  and  ask 
him  to  tell  them  to  be  always  good  and  true.  Many  of  the 
humble  Perazan  women  had  heard  this  young  Teacher  speak 
such  wise  and  loving  words,  that  they  longed  to  have  him  lay 
his  hands  in  blessing  upon  their  dear  children,  and  when  they 
heard  that  he  was  going  away,  they  came  from  their  small 
white  houses,  carrying  the  babies  —  leading  the  little  toddlers, 
and  calling  the  older  ones  to  follow,  as  they  pressed  up  close  to 
the  Master's  side. 

It  was  a  pretty  sight  to  see  the  women  wearing  bright 
handkerchiefs  on  their  heads  —  as  women  still  do  in  the  East^ — ■ 
clothed  in  red  and  blue  garments,  hurrying  forward  with  their 
dark-faced    little    boys,   and    rosy-cheeked    girls   and   laughing 


THE  BIBLE  IN  PICTURES

t> 


babies, —  a  company  of  blessed  little  innocents,  and  begging  the 
loving  Teacher  to  bless  their  little  ones !  They  were  poor 
women,  and  often  their  hearts  were  heavy  with  pain  and  sorrow, 
but  they  loved  their  children  and  wanted  the  best  things  for 
them  just  as  mothers  do  now. 

But  so  many  women  came,  bringing  so  many  children, 
that  the  disciples  feared  the  Master  would  be  wearied  by  their 
coming,  and  they  spoke  roughly  to  the  mothers  and  children, 
telling  them  to  go  away. 

Jesus  heard  their  harsh  words,  and  he  was  "much 
displeased."  Then  he  spoke  the  beautiful  words  which  made 
these  mothers  glad,  and  which  will  go  on  making  hearts  glad 
as  long  as  the  world  stands:  —  "Suffer  the  little  children  to 
come  unto  me,  and  forbid  them  not,  for  of  such  is  the  Kingdom 
of  Heaven." 

Then  how  the  little  ones  ran  forward  with  eager  joy  to 
touch  the  kind  hands  and  the  robe  of  this  gentle  Teacher,  and 
to  nestle  in  his  loving  arms  !  In  their  young  hearts  they /t7/ 
the  love  and  tenderness  with  which  he  laid  his  hands  upon  them 
as  he  spoke  sweet  words  of  blessing,  even  stooping  to  take  up 
the  littlest  ones  in  his  arms.  To  be  sure,  they  could  not 
understand  all  the  deep  meaning  of  his  words,  but  they  could 
understand  that  he  loved  them. 

What  child  who  reads  this  story  does  not  feel  like  saying: 

"I  wish  that  his  hands  had  been  placed  on  my  head, — 
That  his  arms  had  been  thrown  around  me, 
And  that  I  might  have  heard  his  kind  voice  when  he  said, 

'Let  the  little  ones  come  mi  to  Me!'"

HOSANNA  IN  THE  HIGHEST. 


T  was  the  afternoon  of  an  April  day  In  the  land  where 
Jesus  lived.  The  Passover  Festival  in  Jerusalem 
had  called  crowds  of  pilgrims  from  all  parts  of 
Palestine.  Some  were  busy  putting  up  little  white 
tents  and  mat  booths  near  the  city  walls,  while  others 
found  places  with  friends  or  took  lodgings  m  the  city. 

The  story  went  from  one  to  another  that  the  priests  and 
rulers  would  surely  make  Jesus  a  prisoner  if  he  appeared  in  the 
temple.  They  had  urged  any  who  knew  where  he  might  be  to 
tell  them,  and  declared  openly  that  they  were  going  to  put  him 
to  death. 

Jesus  understood  well  that  the  time  was  near  when  he 
must  die,  but  he  was  not  afraid  of  these  enemies  who  could  only 
kill  the  body,  so  he  set  out  this  beautiful  spring  day  with  his 
disciples  and  some  dear  friends  tx'om  Bethany  to  go  to  Jerusalem. 
When  they  drew  near  to  the  little  village  of  Bethphage  he  told  two 
of  his  disciples  to  go  into  the  village  and  ask  for  a  young  ass, 
which  they  would  find  there  and  bring  to  him,  so  that  he  might 
ride  upon  it  into  Jerusalem.  When  the  white  ass  "upon  which 
no  man  had  yet  sat "  was  brought,  a  blue  garment  was  thrown 
over  its  back  and  Jesus  took  his  seat,  his  friends  rejoicing  loudly, 
for  they  thought  that  now  he  was  surely  going  to  enter  the  holy 
city  as  a  king.  It  was  the  custom  for  a  prophet  or  a  king  to 
ride  upon  an  animal  like  this,  and  they  believed  that  at  last 
their  great  Prophet  and  King  was  coming  to  his  own  ! 

Some  ran  ahead  and  threw  down  their  outside  garments 
of  blue  and  yellow  and  brown  upon  the  dusty  road  for  him  to 
ride  over,  while  others  cut  green  branches  from  the  trees  and 
cast  them  before  him.     As  the  crowd  grew  larger  they  shouted 


J

THE  BIBLE  IN  PICTURES

joyfully  and  waved  their  branches  of  palm,  while  joyous  children 
ran  ahead,  gathering  branches  and  singing  praises  with  the  rest. 

It  was  a  happy  band  of  pilgrims  indeed.  When  Jesus 
and  his  friends  came  to  the  top  of  the  hill  they  saw  another 
company  winding  up  the  path  on  the  Jerusalem  side  of  the 
Mount  of  Olives,  who  also  welcomed  Jesus  with  loud  shouts  and 
waving  palm  branches. 

And  what  did  the  gentle  Jesus  think  of  all  this  tumult 
and  display?  He  did  not  tell  the  rejoicing  crowd  to  be  silent, 
for  he  knew  that  the  end  was  near,  and  for  this  once  he  allowed 
them  to  honor  him. 

Among  the  company  who  had  come  up  from  Jerusalem 
to  meet  him,  were  some  Pharisees,  who  were  very  angry  when 
they  saw  the  joy  of  the  people  and  heard  them  call  Jesus  a  king. 
They  shouted  to  Jesus  to  stop  them,  but  he  calmly  said,  that  if 
the  people  had  been  silent  the  very  stones  would  cry  out !  And 
yet,  though  Jesus  let  himself  be  treated  as  a  king,  it  was  a  sad 
hour  for  him,  for  he  well  knew  that  he  must  soon  lay  down  his 
life  for  the  sins  of  the  world,  and  that  even  his  friends  would 
fail  and  forsake  him.  None  could  understand  his  sadness  as  the 
triumphant  company  marched  on,  singing:  "Hosanna!  Blessed 
is  he  that  cometh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord.  Hosanna  in  the 
highest."  Loudest  and  sweetest  of  all  were  the  voices  of 
children  who  loved  Jesus  and  joyfully  sang  praises  to  him. 

And  still 

"  Sing  praise,  O  happy  children  ! 
Sing  praise  to  Christ  the  Lord, 
Who  calls  the  children  to  him 
With  gentle,  loving  word."

THE  GIFT  OF  LOVE. 


T  was  Tuesday  afternoon  of  the  last  week  of  our 
Lord's  life  on  earth.  He  was  in  the  Temple,  the 
place  which  he  had  named,  "My  Father's  House." 
Soon  the  services  for  the  day  would  end,  and  the 
Temple  gates  would  close, —  ne\er  to  open  again  to 
the  Lord  of  life  ! 

Before  going  away  Jesus  sat  down  for  a  little  while 
opposite  the  part  called  the  "  Treasury."  Here  were  thirteen 
large  money  chests,  standing  against  the  wall.  Into  these  the 
people  dropped  their  gifts  of  money  as  they  entered  the  Temple. 
Each  chest  had  a  trumpet-shaped  opening  made  of.  brass  into 
which  the  money  was  dropped.  If  you  had  been  there  you 
would  have  seen  that  each  chest  bore  a  name  which  showed 
for  what  purpose  the  money  in  that  chest  would  be  used,  as 
"  Wood,"  "  Incense,"  "  Gold  Dishes,"  and  so  on. 

Jesus  watched  the  people  as  they  came,  each  one 
dropping  something  into  the  chests.  Here  came  a  rich  Pharisee, 
perhaps,  wearing  a  fine  robe,  who  dropped  a  handful  of  gold 
pieces  into  the  brass  mouth  of  the  chest  with  a  look  which 
seemed  to  say,  "  See  how  rich  and  generous  I  am  ! "  Then 
came  a  merchant,  not  so  rich  and  proud  perhaps,  but  looking 
pleased  as  he  heard  his  silver  coins  tinkling  among  the  gold 
pieces.  Poorer  people  came  along  and  cast  in  their  money, 
and  even  though  it  may  have  been  copper  coins,  they  showed 
by  their  manner  how  pleased  they  were  to  be  seen  giving  to 
the  Lord. 

But  by  and  by  came  a  poor  woman.  Jesus  knew  that 
she  was  a  widow  and  so  poor  that  she  could  scarcely  get  enough 
to  cat.     When  he  saw  her  take  from  her  pocket  two  of  the

smallest  pieces  of  money  then  in  use,  and  drop  them  into  the 
box  with  her  head  bowed  as  in  prayer,  he  turned  and  said  to  his 
disciples,  "  Of  a  truth  I  say  unto  you  that  this  poor  widow  hath 
cast  in  more  than  they  all,  for  all  these  have  of  their  abundance 
cast  into  the  offerings  of  God,  but  she  of  her  penury  hath  cast 
in  all  the  living  that  she  had." 

Jesus  taught  his  disciples  this  lesson  so  that  by  and  by, 
v/hen  he  was  no  longer  with  them  and  they  had  become  the 
teachers  of  his  Gospel,  they  would  know  and  teach  that  true 
giving  to  the  Lord's  cause  is  not  in  the  outward  act,  but  in  the 
love  and  sacrifice  that  go  with  the  gift.  The  rich  Pharisees 
and  merchants  who  had  thrown  their  large  gifts  into  the 
Treasury,  could  easily  spare  the  money,  and  really  gave  to  be 
seen  and  praised  of  men.  But  the  poor  woman  who  gave  only 
a  farthing  because  she  loved  the  Lord's  House,  Jesus  said  gave 
more  than  all  the  rest. 

This  story  teaches  that  Jesus  does  not  count  as  men  do. 
He  looks  down  below  the  spoken  word,  the  outward  deed,  even 
the  gift  of  money  or  service,  to  see  what  lies  behind  them  all. 
If  he  sees  there  the  wish  to  be  praised,  he  is  not  pleased,  but 
if  he  sees  the  loving  desire  to  please  him  and  to  help  some 
child  of  his,  he  says,   "  That  is  well,  my  child." 

"It  is  not  the  deed  we  do, 
Though  that  be  never  so  fair, 
But  the  love  the  dear  Lord  looketh  for, 
Hidden  away  with  care 
In  the  heart  of  the  deed  so  fair."
